This theme pops up every so often and it's neat to see how some of the older members' answers vary, and as Abstract pointed out, how whomever happens to be posting more gets mentioned more.
I'll not get suckered into posting specific names...
... but I've been very lucky in meeting a few of y'all. There are some whom I might have once wanted to meet but no longer care to. And there are quite a few more of you I'd love to meet and nom-nom and glug-glug with.
It's only natural-- people get closer or drift apart.
Despite what any of you more in the know might think (and stretching further back in MR history), I have yet to regret meeting anyone from MR in person, regardless of how we are today.
